From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So... this is going to be a debloated lightweight distro (or just a DE?) with official support for not-so-fresh hardware? I don't fully understand.
KDE Eco is (AFAIK) a project by the KDE folks to try and push for better optimizations for energy efficiency for software projects in general and to try and push for free software adoption by governments with the main push being the limits of software support by companies and the landfill that limited support creates.
I'm not sure, if you're involved with the project, but if so: you really need to work on your communication.
You want hardware to last longer by providing software for it. That's it. Great goal, but you don't need half a bachelor's thesis for that, and you also don't need to tiptoe around the point.
Definitely not involved with the project, just interested in seeing it develop 😅
